What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.
What is the name for pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere?
Simply put, atmospheric pressure is the force exerted on a measuring point by the weight of the air molecules on top of that point. Standard atmospheric pressure, measured at sea level at 59F or 15C, is used as a reference point and is equal to 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013 millibars of pressure.
What is caused by the collisions of air molecules around you that produces the force of an area?
atmospheric pressure
What are synonyms of the word air pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is another name for air pressure. This is because the atmosphere is pretty much the same as air.
What is the force the Sun exerts on the Earth?
The air pressure on Earth is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pressing down. This pressure is also known as "atmospheric pressure". Normal atmospheric pressure at the surface of the Earth is 101 kPa, 760 mm Hg, or 14.7 psig
Why is the atmospheric pressure on moon is zero?
Because the atmosphere on the moon is negligible. No atmosphere = No atmospheric pressure
What is molecules closer to the surface that are more densely packed than those higher in the atmosphere because of gases pressing down from higher in the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure
What does ATM in chemistry stand for?
ATM stands for atmosphere, such as in atmospheric pressure.
What Measures AtMosphere Pressure?
A Barometer measures atmospheric pressure.

Is there air pressure in the atmosphere?
Yes, the atmospheric pressure is very important.
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere against the of the earth?
surface.
Define atmospheric pressure?
Air pressure is the pressure exerted from the atmosphere
What is the downward push of the atmosphere called?
Atmospheric Pressure
In general as elevation increases from the ground up what happens to atmospheric pressure?
Pressure decreases. This is because atmospheric pressure is a measure of the weight of the atmosphere weighing down. If you are high in the atmosphere, much of the atmosphere is below you so the pressure from above will be very small.
How do you use atmosphere in a sentence?
The restaurant had a peaceful atmosphere
What are Molecules closer to the surface are more densely packed than those higher in the atmosphere because of the mass of gases pressing down from higher in the atmosphere?
Im pretty sure its atmospheric pressure
